Guest bio: Anders Sørenson is a Danish clinical psychologist with a special interest in psychiatric drug withdrawal. He has undertaken research which assesses the state of guidance on psychiatric drug withdrawal. He has also paid close attention to tapering methods with the aim of identifying approaches which might make withdrawal more tolerable for people.In addition to his research work, Anders utilizes psychotherapy in his private practice when helping people to come off the drugs and we’ll get to talk about some of that in this interview.

The drug companies don't want people to stop taking drugs. I'm curious to know (in real numbers) just how much the medical establishment benefits monetarily. So many impacts on society and the economy as well.
Robert Withaker said, but I'm not really sure I've heard correctly, about 3 trillion dollars a year.
Thank you so much for your work 🙏☺️ I came off my antipsychotic meds 4 years ago and luckely never needet them again. But the pressure from other people and especially doctors is so hard to deal with.
So I love watching your videos, they give me a lot of hope and make me feel that I did the right thing for myself ♥️
We're so glad they help you. Thank you for tuning in! You are always your own best health advocate - no one knows you...like you! Take care.
Have you not figured out that doctors can be aggressive, threatening pimps? They can be harmful. Now stand up for yourself. Many doctors are actually stupid, ignorant greedy people. Sorry to inform you but they are flawed.
Dr. Sorenson sounds like a truly gifted psychologist! Great interview.
Great watch 👏👏
I Went through a years long brutal withdrawal from a benzo
Unbelievable, years off it and still not right
When did it get better
I am nearly half way off my daily Benzo dose - after over 2 years tapering and it was only a while back I realised how numbing they had made me, how I had lived in this numbed state for so many years and did not even realise it. So you are on for example Benzo's or an AD for 10 - 20 years and yet you have been numbed to anything you really need to be dealing with and getting help with.
Awesome work Nicole!
Thanks, Montesa! Hope you're still doing better.
Thank you 🙏 Nicole and Anders this conversations are so helpful
Thank you!
'Manufacturing fake emotions' This reminds me how in the air above whatever I really was when taking antipsychotics. Lost touch of myself. After almost a year off them, Im still uneasy being me. Its like I had a regression and have to build myself frrom 19, and Im 50 now. Plus people around find me strange. I Ve thougt of wearing a t-shirt saying Psych Med Survivor. But that might backfire
I Love the t-shirt idea.
🤗Better to be uniquely strange than drug induced strange.🤗
God work 🙏🏽
I’d love if you asked the next expert on their opinions about pregnant women taking antipsychotics/psychotropic drugs. I am currently pregnant (thankfully not on any psychotropic drugs myself but I am very concerned with how frequently I see women say they’re using these medications during pregnancy). I saw one study today that said the use of antipsychotics during pregnancy DOUBLES the risk of stillbirth and I wonder if that’s ever discussed with pregnant women before deciding to continue taking them. I’d also be interested to know how they would taper or find a way to get off the drugs in the case of pregnancy. I’m pretty shocked how common it is for pregnant women to take these psychotropic drugs. We avoid advil and yet “believe” these drugs with unknown effects won’t cause harm??
I’ve also seen studies linking maternal antidepressant use during pregnancy with autism. I’d be interested to see more studies on that.
Hi Kim, Thank you! We'll put this down on our list. Perhaps we can find an expert in female issues to have on.
Great issue! This is a huge problem with the overmedicating women of childbearing age. There are scholarly articles documenting the birth defects by antidepressants online.
@@georgiabessie yes - nevermind what happens to women who wish to conceive and who cant because the withdrawal effects are so bad and long-enduring
Don't take them pregnant!!! You will have birth defects.
I just wanted to share this video and didn't know where else to put it.

It's about the "medication" that were given to covid patients. Midazalam, morphine, opiods, even haloperidol. The doctor says, those combinations may be responsible for many deaths because those also suppress breathing, haloperidol also causes tongue spasm (as far as I'm aware - and haloperidol on patients with physical problems?! Seriously?!).
I already posted a comment some time ago, that the drug combination on covid patients seems suspicious.
I think the use of psych meds in general hospitals could also be addressed - any plans in doing so? Because this psych meds topic is not only important for "mental health" patients, but for the whole population, if they are even overused in hospitals.
(To the video: thank you, restores faith in humanity! And that's actually needed right now. ❤)
Fair enough, Dr Campbell is coming around I suppose.. If u r interested in finding out more check out the jdirty dozen, drs n those r speaking the truth re c19.
I wonder how Anders feels about the use of the Tapering strips made in the Netherlands?
Does he believe they would be effective?
10 months 10 days on different anti psychotic drugs...prescription drugs..klonopin 1mg for days of 10 mnths 10 days....Today is 3 months 9 days cold turkey.. I was on that treatment because of a silly matter an anti oxidant supplement withdrawal... Called glutathione....today is 3 months 9 days,when i will able to function, can't do anything..
There needs to be some time marks,
So did he mention how do get off or how to get better ? I been off around 11 months of ssris... still very unwell , how do I get better...
Yes, could someone address this? What are you doing to feel better naturally?
Have you tried sleeping more and not feeling guilty about it?
Please help me I’m on several phyc meds n they just put me on seroquel I only took it 1 day I slept but woke up crazy in pan headache n neck ect getting sores for 3 years since I started weanin off them 3 years ago. Where can I get help
Hi Paula. How are you doing now?
What about using COLD PLUNGES?
It’s about the NERVOUS SUSTEM…NOT THE BRAIN!
Its both. Injury in the brain plays a large role.
Yes GP and mental health professionals no nothing.
DRINK PINK HIMALAYAN SALT WATER SLL DAY during tapering!!!
